A friend of mine sent me some "farm wreck" pictures. Thought I'd post a couple here, since busy season is right around the corner:

I was at a meeting yesterday and one of the speakers commented on a serious now reality in farm accidents. That was people forgetting about shutting off their autosteer units when leaving the field.

big 4x4 tractor and grain bin must be a new way of valet parking. Had a simular experiance with lilly pads. Got ino some black muck, while working land in the spring, with a tractor with 2 wheel drive. Tractor started to bouge down, I figured I would hit clay ground,and let her spin. Trastor sank until she was down on the rear end housing. Got another to come with 4x4, and he couldn't budge it. There just happened to be a guy show up to pick up an escovator, high hoe, with a tractor trailer. My boss got him to come and pull out the tractor. He couldn't budge it either. So he dug out the rear wheels, with the bucket, and then he was able to pull out the tractor.

Buddy of mine in college almost made this list. His family farmed in the boot heel of MO. Got behind one spring and every one was working in 12 hour shifts. A hired hand was sick and could not work one night. As all 21 year olds this guy said he could work 24 hours. About 3 am he started get'n wobble headed. Came to when he felt the front tires drop. Hit the clutch hard, an opened his eyes. His headlights were shine'n down a 50 foot drop off into the Mississippi river. He was realy happy he was pulling a big NH3 bar and not a sprayer or something on wheels. I asked him if it hurt anything and he said no, the cab aired out after a few days.

Be careful every one!

If you count the the insulators on the power line and multiply by 4000 you get the voltage of the line . There 13 on this one so that is 52,000 volts up there.

My oh my Goodness.I sure hope these operators were all OK. Th one with the loader underneith the tractor is the scariest lfollowed by the powerlines. Goes to show you, when we are in a hurry, to get the crops planted, and harvested, what can happen in a hurry, when not paying attention. I ripped off the eavetrough down pipe with the straight head of my McCormick IH 80 pulltype combine, a few years ago, not paying attention, trying to get my soys off in trickey weather.

Those Ugly green things don't do very well in mud do they?

I notice that they got a Case to pull them out. Makes an Old Case guy feel good.

That'll teach farmers to let wives drive their tractors.

The excavator picture scares me the most, followed closely by the power line problem.
Sometimes it easy tol forget hom much mass we control on these machines.

lets just hope that it was the owner that did those things. how would you like to be a son or daughter, hired man having to call your father or boss about them. "AAAA we have a problem" "you might want to stop an have a drink first before you come here". "an bring me one to"

We sort of had a deal like the "lilly pads" out here on an old dry playa lake. The ground was dry on top, but everytime we'd get a tractor near to help the one in trouble, it would break through about 8-10 inches of crust and bog down, too...

Here are a few more:

I'd have put them in stuck & troubled, but at those sizes, not sure a person could have told much about the pictures...

Now this last combine picture is so totally out of the blue, how in the heck could the seed bin penetrate the cab, is it really that thin?

Rear window failure caused by fire, perhaps?
